Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, and minced garlic.
Add the milk, eggs, breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Mix together using your hands or a large spoon until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
Transfer the meat mixture into a greased loaf pan, pressing down gently to shape it.
In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup of ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard powder until well combined.
Spread the ketchup mixture evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) and the top is caramelized.
Let the meatloaf rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
